Easter 2026 Collection

Today's update brings the all new Easter 2026 Collection.

This is our first custom terminal, not based upon the Counter-Strike Collections

The Easter 2026 Up-Link Terminal is now dropping as part of regular case drops and is also available on the Lambda Store and via the Operation Equinox Store.

This Terminal also contains rare items, with the Easter 2026 Knife Finishes

Best of Counter-Strike #2 Sticker Capsule

This update introduces Series #2 of our "Best of Counter-Strike" sticker series.

The new sticker capsule is available exclusively for April in the Operation Event Horizon Store and the Lambda Store

Re-Introducing Prop Hunt

Prop Hunt has been re-written from the ground up using our new base gamemode.

General Improvements

It features a new HUD, User Interface and for the first time in any Prop Hunt gamemode: Radar

Since we introduced a new radial menu back in March, we've also used this for taunting, making taunting a much nicer experience compared to the old window-based UI

Hunter Improvements

There's improvements for Hunters too.

Previously you were given an AK-47 and a grenade, with the new version, you have the whole buy menu available to you

And for a Prop Hunt first, Hunters can also taunt

Sir Bloody Darryl makes his debut in Lambda with Prop Hunt, with Australian taunts to go with him!

Introducing Bots

Prop Hunt now has bot support; these are still quite primative however they play fairly well and allow you to play and enjoy Prop Hunt with the absence of players.

We intend on improving the bots over time.

Hop in and check out the new Prop Hunt!

Welcoming back The Skin Testing Environment

Now that we have a new compositing system and a easy to use code API, we've bought back Skin Testing Environment.

What is Skin Testing Environment?

Skin Testing Environment is a gamemode where you can equip and inspect all available, weapon, knife and glove finishes without needing to acquire them via unboxing or trading.

All your regular Inventory skins are disabled, and you go to certain NPC's who will show you a list of Weapons, knives or gloves

The gamemode and map also provide some other functionality

Shooting Range

The map contains a shooting range, pick your weapon of choice and start practicing against targets

Screenshot Area

Get your perfect combo and take the perfect screenshot with the perfect skybox

Dark Room

Test out glow-in-the-dark weapon finishes in the dark room

Light Room

Or if you like being flashbanged, there's a light room too.

Updated Roadmap

We've updated the roadmap to include most of the content we're planning on releasing in the first half of 2026.

Some gamemdoes like Prop Hunt slipped in to April and Chicken Defusal will be launching next week.

We will be revealing our 2026 H2 Roadmap within the next few weeks.
